Absolutely fantastic service. Rick was a thoroughly nice bloke, picked the car up when he said he would, and dropped it off on time. Can't speak highly enough and will recommend to all!

I was a bit unsure about changing mechanics as my mechanic retired, but found them very professional and he fitted my clutch, flywheel and dual mass cylinder without any problems. Good mechanic and I intend to use him again, as I'm very happy with the repair and it was at a reasonable price. Much cheaper than the competition and he came and collected the car and returned it as promised.

Work completed on time and the details clearly explained. Polite and workmanlike, will definitely use for car servicing in the future

I couldn't be any more impressed with this place. I had a very noisy exhaust but I couldn't see any holes underneath. I was expecting to need the exhaust replaced. Richardson's quoted me £185 which I would have been happy to pay. It turned out a joint had come lose so I was only charged £45. Excellent customer service. Trustworthy mechanics. Would recommend 100%

Garage completed all the work I asked and also did a safety point check on the brakes etc. It had an oil leak which showed up and they replaced the filter which was rusted. All in all, nice people and a good service. Will use them again!

The Service I received was first class and I was kept informed right from booking in to when the job was completed. They even threw in a free loan car while my car was being repaired. I will certainly use them again.

Excellent friendly service. Efficient. Vehicle checked at time agreed. Advice given and quote provided for what was needed to repair vehicle within time scale agreed. No hesitation in recommending this garage.

Will independent garages service my car to Franchised Dealer Standards?

All independent garages (in Colchester or beyond) will be able to look up the Dealer Servicing Specifications for your car and follow them to the letter, if requested.

+

Can I request other (non-servicing) repairs via this website?

Yes you can. In truth, Servicing accounts for less than half of the work we see on the website.

That said, anything is possible - we regularly see requests for restoration, stereo upgrades, Colchester convertible roof repairs, you name it!

Absolutely. Because we work with thousands of garages across the UK, including specialists, we've seen plenty of unusual cars over the years, including Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and more. Just post your job as normal. Garages beyond Colchester will often offer to collect your car in person.

+

What sort of parts will Colchester garages use on my car?

A Main Dealer will usually use original parts on your car. Independent Colchester garages and specialists are able to source parts from a variety of sources, including original parts, aftermarket parts and even used parts. They will usually discuss this with you when finalising the details of your repair or service.

What should I do if I don't actually know what's wrong with my car?

Don't worry - that's very common. Simply describe the symptoms as you're experiencing them, and our mechanics in Colchester will use their experience to diagnose the issue and give you an estimate for fixing it.

Had my clutch replaced with VR Car Services. Rick is a great guy, took the car away the next day and did a very professional job. Happy to go back to VR Car Services.
